As a workaround, I've done the following: sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac false sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 0 sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery false sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 1800
Which gives me: $ sudo -u gdm gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings- daemon.plugins.power | grep inactive org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac false org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 0 org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'suspend' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery false org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 1800 org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-type 'suspend' That works well in a pinch, but it's definitely not user-friendly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/860227 Title: greeter session puts the host to sleep after 30 minutes idle To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/860227/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
